The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center provides educational programs that encourage and elevate public understanding of science and scientific research.

Danforth Center scientists are involved in training and mentoring young scientists, as well as supporting regional science educators and students.

A variety of programming provides a broad range of educational opportunities for people of all ages to embrace science, advance their own knowledge and make personal connections to the Danforth Center. Programs are designed to heighten awareness that plant biology, genetics and new biotechnology applications play a central role in modern agriculture, global food production, human health and nutrition and environmental sustainability including the use of green energy.

By “sharing our science," the Center strives to inspire a scientifically informed citizenry and importantly, the next generation of plant scientists.
